Asthma: The Occupational Danger

May 2008

A leading personal injury solicitor that specialises in industrial disease compensation claims at Manchester law firm Pannone LLP has called for wider recognition of the causes of occupational asthma.

Garret Spring, a Partner at Pannone says occupations such as bakers, vehicle spray painters, woodworkers, laboratory animal workers and engineering workers are particularly at risk. Commenting he said, “Any occupation which brings employees in to contact with dust, hairs and solvents or paint is potentially dangerous. If workers are not adequately protected, they are at risk. We deal with many cases where employees are suffering with debilitating asthma and although we can help by pursuing compensation for them, it would be infinitely preferable for them to live without this crippling condition.” Garret Spring was speaking on “World Asthma Day”, which is just part of a whole series of events organised in May to highlight the plight of asthma sufferers. Garret Spring is a personal injury solicitor that specialises in work related asthma compensation at Pannone LLP in Manchester. --
